About 300 genera and 3,000 species of the Apiaceae family exist in the Northern Hemisphere. Nearly a quarter of these genera are native to the United States, with several large genera in the West.

Members of this family are usually aromatic herbs with hollow stems, fem-like 5 leaves, and small flowers in umbels that are further grouped into a compound cluster. The family is important for such foods as carrots, parsnips, and celeiy and such spices and seasonings as coriander, caraway, anise, parsley, and dill. However, some species are very poisonous.

Erik Erikson believed that personality development is a series of turning points, which he described in terms of a tension between desirable qualities and dangers. He emphasized that only when the positive qualities outweigh the dangers does healthy psychosocial development take place.

An important turning point occurs around age six. A child entering school is at a point in development when behavior is dominated by intellectual curiosity and performance. He or she now learns to win recognition by producing things. The child develops a sense of industry. The danger at this stage is that the child may experience feelings of inadequacy or inferiority. If the child is encouraged to make and do things, allowed to finish tasks, and praised for trying, a sense of industry is the result. On the other hand, if the child’s efforts are unsuccessful, or if they are criticized or treated as bothersome, a sense of inferiority is the result. For these reasons, Erikson called the period from age six to eleven Industry vs. Inferiority.

It is not known exactly when people first came to the Americas. However, archaeologists have ruled out the possibility that men and women evolved in the Western Hemisphere because no fossils of pre-Homo sapiens have been found there. No remains of the closest cousins of human beings, the great apes, have been found in the Americas, either. Despite these theories, however, many Native American groups believe that they evolved in the Americas. These beliefs must be respected until archaeological findings are more conclusive.

Archaeologists believe that Native Americans originally came from Asia. Estimates of when they came to this continent vary greatly. However, some 10 archaeologists believe that people may have been in the Western Hemisphere as long as 35,000 years.

Most archaeologists use the Bering Strait theory to explain how the first people reached the Western Hemisphere. The Bering Strait is the body of water separating Siberia from Alaska. Archaeologists believe that at various points in prehistory this water receded and a land bridge connected present-day Siberia and Alaska. The early ancestors of Native Americans crossed this stretch of land while hunting animals and plants to eat. Archaeologists do not believe that these immigrants looked like present-day Asian peoples. If we accept this theory, we can think of the ancestors of Native Americans as physically “pre-Asian.”
